Tag Search for highlands

Ok i know this site is dedicated to scratching and for me a blast on my bike can be for a number of different reasons so if you want a selection of different types of road then i can reckomend the highlands of scotland.Ok so the road surfaces arn't always the best,look out for sheep,deer and grit on the roads as well as caravans in the tourist season.However even in the tourist season the traffic levels are nowhere near that of the south.IE out of the highlands :)And for you foreigners ie,English,Welsh and Irish :) then if you get as far north as Inverness then the fun is only starting.Take the road to Ullapool and up round Cape Wrath past Dounreay to Wick and then south to Inverness.The scenery is awsome,the journey is a test of skill and endurance and there are some REALLY good corners to get your knee down as well as some terrific straights and some majestic view points which will take your breath away..When you get back to inverness get a B&B and in the morning do the trip again.:) The only real bad point is the weather.Be prepared to get out the waterproofs.It is still worth it though.GET NORTH NOW.

The Dunoon circular route is 68.2 miles, offering an excellent challenge of diverse driving conditions, gradients and cambers. Try this out, you won't be disappointed.

The Strachur to Dunoon stretch is a particularly fast section of road. Catch the Western Ferry from Gourock ( 0141 332 9766 ) to Dunoon. On arrival, drive north west across the B836 as if heading for Otter Ferry but take the south route A8003 to Tighnabruaich. Continue south, then follow the road north to Otter Ferry, with its lovely pebble beach and little harbour. Continue north on the B8000 to Strachur.

Finally, to complete the circle, head south from Strachur back to Dunoon on the A815. The Strachur to Dunoon section is pretty fast going and a fantastic stretch of road. Unsurpassed scenery with plenty of restaurants, hotels and a few camping sites dotted here and there. A particularly good one is situated on the banks of Loch Eck which runs parallel with the A815 for several miles. Interestingly, if arriving at Strachur this way (from Dunoon) you can head on north up to the Highlands via via Oban for Fort William, or turn east to visit the Trossachs as both routes comprise excellent roads and world class scenery.
